Long in the sleeve

It has come to my attention that people are fans of long sleeve shirts. I’ve never cared much for them as I find them a bit uncomfortable. Having taken some outdoor pistol and rifle courses in the summer heat, I realized the benefit a of a long sleeve shirt. Slathering on sunscreen is never fun and handling a weapon afterwards isn’t either. Now I know a 100% cotton long sleeve is not the answer so here’s an alternative.

The VertX Men’s Long Sleeve Polo Shirt. Shirt pictures are boring so I’m saving the space for more text, I hope you can use your imagination. With this option, you not only get protection via the long sleeves but the polo collar adds a little bit more protection for the back of your neck. The protection doesn’t stop there however. Like the VertX short sleeve polo, the long sleeve version features coldblack technology.

Not only does this fabric technology help to reflect the suns rays reducing heat buildup but it also provides up to 30SPF of UV protection. Amazing to think a polo shirt could work so hard. Should black be the color of the day, you’ll be happy to know your shirt is fighting to keep you a little bit cooler.

Should you prefer something a little more tactical and if you’re a fan of Multicam then the VertX Gunfighter shirts are an option worth looking at. Naturally they were designed with input from operators in order to be clean and functional, ideal for wear under armor and chest rigs. If you’re not fighting moisture or rain the 50/50 NYCO version will do. In wet weather you might consider the Gunfigther Storm Shirt for added protection from the elements.
